Chapter 1576 - Replace

Chapter 1576: Replace

Yao Zheng pointed at Jing Xi and made others turn to look at her.

“I’m sorry, there was a lot of traffic on my way here,” Jing Xi explained.

“No excuses! You should’ve woke up earlier then! Do you expect everyone to wait for you?”

“I’m sorry...”

Jing Xi lowered her head since she knew that further explanation would do her no good.

But Yao Zheng took it as a chance to show her power in front of everyone else.

“What makes you think a simple apology will be enough? Do you even know where you are? It’s the palace! How dare you come in late on the first day! You’re fired!”

With those things in mind, Yao Zheng asked someone to invite the prince over.

The moment Little Grape saw Jin Xiaoxi, he quickly struggled away from the servant’s hand and ran towards her.

“Auntie Xiaoxi!”

The little boy ran over and hugged Jing Xi’s legs as if they were friends who’d been separated for a long time.

No one present at the scene had seen that side of the prince before.

Yao Zheng was completely stupefied as things were not going according to her expectations.

“Yao Vice Manager, I believe that we have our answer now.” Lan Yi smiled.

Everyone knew that the relationship between Lan Yi and Yao Zheng was never good as the latter kept looking for ways to replace the former.

But since Lan Yi had gained the complete trust of the king, it wasn’t something Yao Zheng could achieve quickly.

That was why Yao Zheng wanted to chase Jing Xi away, because she had been recruited by Lan Yi.
